Throughout his journeys across feudal Japan, rabbit ronin Usagi has faced many dangers, crossed paths with sworn enemies, and forged bonds of friendship stronger than any threat - but now he does it with young Jotaro at his side! This 18th volume of the internationally accalaimed Usagi Yojimbo collects issues #61-68 of this multi-award winning ongoing series and continues the adventures as "Uncle" Usagi struggles with keeping a secret from Jotaro that everyone else seems to know. Not only do their travels bring the perils of the Neko Ninja, but they also have a close encounter with a new and deadly organization - the Koroshi League of Assassins. The beautiful thief Kitsune is up to her old tricks, and Usagi relates a story from his youth about a goblin swordmaster, in the Eisner-nominated "Usagi and the Tengu." Finally, an evil artist targets Jotaro with a possessed ink set in the three-part "Sumi-E" story, which features the return of Sasuké the Demon Queller!
Stan Sakai has won numerous awards for Usagi Yojimbo, including the prestigious National Cartoonists Society Award in the Comic Book Division.
